Creating a New-Hire Resources course in Proserva takes just a little setup and pays off all year. You’ll reuse the same curated modules, pace releases week-by-week, and keep everything—HR docs, handbooks, and quick activities—in one place. New teachers get a consistent, welcoming start; admins get clear visibility and fewer support emails; everyone hits the ground running.
Follow the steps below to get started on setting up your course.
1) Open your course
Log in to Proserva.
From the Home page, scroll to My Courses and select your course (e.g., New Hire Resources).
Or go to Learn → My courses & workshops and select it.
On the course landing page, click Manage.
2) Go to Course Content
In the course manager, open Course content.
You can organize content by Week (or month/units—your choice).
Tip: It’s common to set up Week 1, Week 2, etc., and keep future weeks as Draft until you’re ready.
3) Add a lesson (example: Week 1 discussion)
Click Add content.
Title it (e.g., Week 1 – Share about yourself).
Add brief instructions (e.g., “Post a few hobbies and a fun fact.”).
Set Type to Activity and choose Discussion.
Leave Private discussion off if you want the class to see each other’s posts.
Click Save and choose Save as draft (recommended while you’re building).
4) Add resource links (HR docs, handbooks, etc.)
In the same lesson, add a Resources/Links section.
Paste links to handbooks, HR booklets, or other onboarding materials.
Click Save.
5) Order, draft, and preview
Reorder: Drag and drop lessons/activities to set the week’s sequence.
Draft vs. Published:
Draft items are grayed out and show a Draft label (only staff see these).
Published items appear normal (visible to participants).
Preview: Click Preview to see what learners will see. Draft items won’t appear to them.
6) Publish when ready
To release a lesson/activity, open it, click Edit, then Publish.
Repeat weekly (or on your schedule) to keep the course paced and tidy.
7) Publish and share the course
When the course structure looks good, click the course-level Publish button.
Use the Share link shown on the page to invite teachers (copy and send).
(Optional) Set Availability to Invited people only and add specific teachers to restrict access.
Recommended release pattern
Create all upcoming weeks now as Draft.
Each week, publish the next lesson(s) when you’re ready.
This keeps learners focused on current tasks and lets you iterate safely.
FAQs
Who can see Draft items?
Only course staff. Learners never see drafts in Preview or in their view.
Can I unpublish something?
If you need to make changes after release, you can unpublish or edit and republish (availability depends on your org’s settings). When in doubt, keep items Draft until final.
Do I have to use “weeks”?
No. Many courses use months, units, or topics. Choose the structure that fits your program.
